Hindus by tradition are vegetarians in their hierarchy of social caste and class system but no religious doctrines forbid consumption of domesticated meat except cow/Buffalo meat considered a taboo and impure as it is holy.Lower caste are permitted to consume pork. Sikhism forbids to consume 'kutha' or 'zubah' meat, which is basically 'halal' meat. To put it crudely, it is 'haram' for them. Though Hindus are vegetarian by choice, they believe that the next best thing to veganism is eating the meat of domesticated animals like goat & sheep and poultry like ducks and chickens which have been ethically slaughtered.
Sikhs believe in the 'jhatka' method of slaughter, by which the animal is killed in one stroke. In 'halal', however, the animal's throat is sliced, and it suffers immense pain and anguish as it bleeds slowly and agonizingly to death. Though the Muslims justify this as sacrifice in religion, the prayers can absolve the slaughter not as sin committed but sacrifice to Allah..
These animals are God's creatures. We shouldn't be using, abusing and murdering them in the first place. If we must resort to killing them, in order to continue the so-called 'food-chain', we must alleviate and lessen their misery and pain as much as we can.
This is what every religion preaches. Through 'jhatka', the animal is dead before it realizes it. 'Halal', however, requires the animal to suffer greatly, and karma soon ensures that the pain we inflict on the animal, is experienced by us, in this life or the next, if we are to borrow from Buddhist philosophy. In other words, the knife is redirected to our throat.
As Schopenhauer has observed, Brahmanism is closer to perfection than other religions which disregard animal rights.
Islam indoctrinates them from their infancy, to blindly follow senseless rituals, dogmas and practices passed down as rituals and religious practices. Religions respect the rights of animals and other living creatures, but ironically deprives those of women to degrade and commodify.
Though the 'jhatka' method of slaughter originated as a means of resisting Mughal rule in Hindustan, 'jhatka' is now a way of life. As Gandhi once insightfully remarked, the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Civilized nations abroad are practicing CAK (controlled-atmosphere-killing) and the stunning of animals, to reduce their suffering during slaughter. Must we, then, sink to the abyss of barbarism and backwardness?
The Muslims eat 'halal' meat since they erroneously believe it to be healthy, as the animals' blood drains out. Similar is the case with Jews and 'kosher', where cows are hung on pulleys and mechanically slaughtered till the floors are carmine stained. These two religions are orthodox and irrational, allied to bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry.
Hinduism, on the other hand, is not hard and fast, in that it gives freedom to explore, and yet circumscribes within the boundaries of prescribed moral norms and ethical codes.
Can we afford to exploit this freedom, flout these norms, and denigrate our culture, which has always placed on its pedestal values like peace and non-violence?
Big eateries in many countries, are supplying 'halal' food so as not to lose out on their customers. Why? Because if one community cannot eat 'jhatka' meat the other community can always compromise. But this situation is forcing people to consume 'halal' meat, without the realizing the suffering that has gone into producing the mutton kabab lying on our plate. Should we resign so easily, as tolerant humans and accept the majority practices to commit endless sins, and account for them later? Aren't WE supposed to be making the decisions around here, instead of being pushed around? Isn't terrorism, overpopulation, and the seizure of our holy land, the birthplace of our Lord, enough?
For one community , 'halal' meat may be sinfully delicious, but for the others( Sikhs), 'halal' meat is sinful.
What we eat, must appeal to our taste buds as well as our conscience. To put it in a nutshell, we must join together, to ban and boycott evil practices like slaughter itself , to retain the ethical purity and moral uprightness of a nation.
